“But then you’d still be worried about whatever you were worried about.” Noah brushed his fingers over her shoulder. “If you’re worried, you should share it with us. We can at least talk about it, even if it doesn’t solve anything.”
That was sweet in a demanding way, but that was definitely her men. They liked their way, but their concern was touching. The last person who’d really worried about her was her grandfather.
She reached over and forked up a piece of steak. Noah placed some veggies on her plate before dishing some for himself. She smiled and thanked him.
Eventually, they finished eating. She put her fork down and took the final sip of her wine. Sawyer always cooked steak perfectly. The man was a master with it, no matter how he cooked it.
“Are you finished, Tempest?” Sawyer raised a brow.
She nodded. Well, since they wouldn’t just let this go, at least, she’d enjoy the pleasure and their touch.
“Now, we’ll go talk in the bedroom.” Noah took her hand and drew her from her seat.
“If we’re going to the bedroom, the last thing I want to do is talk.” She squeezed his hand. “We could have a lot of fun. Get rid of a few clothes and explore to our hearts’ content.”
“We’ll get to exploring. Talking is first, because whatever it is that’s bothering you won’t solve itself.” Phoenix scooped her up. “Everything else will wait until we’re finished.”
“You know you don’t have to have everything your own way.” She poked him in the chest. Not that that would dissuade him. Hell, it might provoke him.
“I don’t have to, and there will be times that I don’t, but this time, I’ll find out what’s bothering you.” Phoenix smiled, but that baring of teeth was not friendly or reassuring.
Chapter Twenty-Five
Tempest huffed. Damn, they were making a lot out of a little worry. Of course, she was worried. Her cousin had been arrested for sending that man to shoot her. She still had some concern that that issue might not be fully resolved. Most of her father’s side of the family blamed her. Only her mother was supportive of her which was reassuring. She was really the only one Tempest wanted to keep in contact with. On top of that, there were hunters out there trying to hurt her and her men.
Phoenix carried her into the bedroom and put her on her feet beside the bed. She folded her arms across her chest. No way would she cooperate meekly. Not yet. They needed to work for it, even if she did want the same thing they did.
“Looks like someone plans to be a little stubborn.” Sawyer strolled over and ran his fingers over her cheek.
“It’s not stubborn. It’s only not agreeing with your outrageous demands.” She rolled her eyes. “We could already be touching and teasing if you didn’t insist on having your way.”
“You want to have some fun?” Noah unbuttoned his shirt.
“If your idea of fun is sex, yes. I love the way you three make me feel.” She pulled her shirt over her head and dropped it to the floor. “You could be touching and kissing all of this, but you want to talk.”
“Oh, we will talk.” Phoenix stared at her. “But you could be right, maybe a little fun will help the situation along.”
“I’m not talking torture. I want my men tonight.” She gripped his shirt. More than he could know. Seeing them was great, but touching them, that was the real reassurance. The attack on Noah had shaken her more than any of any of the other incidents.
“And you’ll get us, Tempest. You’ll get us all.” Sawyer dropped a kiss on her shoulder. “Why don’t you undress and we can get to the touching and loving?”
“If you’re messing with me, I’ll get even in some way, at some time, maybe even months from now.” She slid her palm along the side of his cheek and met his eyes. And they’d pay for it.
“Now, that’s a threat. Do you think that it would dissuade me from doing it if I thought it was necessary?” Phoenix leaned forward until their noses touched.
She traced her finger up his neck. “Just giving you fair warning, because as well as you know me, I know you, too.” And she was learning what they loved as well as what annoyed them.
“Then we’ve been warned.” Noah smiled. “As you’ve been warned about scavenger hunts.”
“Still won’t stop me. You deserve one.” She smiled. Even if it did spiral into some yearly event for both of them. She’d enjoy playing with them.
“So, we’re all set on our course.” Sawyer stepped out of his pants. “You’ve got clothes on. It will be a little more difficult to give you the pleasure you want and love you if you’re still wearing them.”
“I wouldn’t mind ripping you out of them, but I think you’d mind if we destroyed them.” Phoenix tugged off his shirt.
“Yeah, I kind of need to keep my clothes intact until I’m able to go to the stores and get a job again.” She unbuttoned her pants. Maybe when this was all over, she could let them rip her out of them.
“Then you better hurry up and get out of them.” Phoenix unbuttoned his pants.
She pushed her pants down, but left the underwear. Hopefully, they all got a good look at the red matching bra and panties with its pretty white trim. And liked what they saw.
A low whistle rose through the room. She turned and smiled at Noah. He wagged his eyebrows at her.
“Looking delicious, Tempest.” Sawyer skimmed his hand over her butt.
“It is a sexy little pair, isn’t it?” She trailed her fingers over the thin band at her hip.
“And it better disappear before I get my hands on it.” Phoenix laughed. “Because you in that has made me hungry.”
She smiled and reached back to unhook the bra. The fabric loosened and slid down her arms. She flicked her hand letting the scrap of lace fall to the floor.
“That’s one.” Noah sat on the bed. “Now, the other one, otherwise your set will end up just a bra.”
“Hmm, as tempting as it is to have you rip a pair of panties off me, I can handle this.” She hooked her fingers underneath the band. Inching it down, she wriggled her hips.
A loud pop sounded, and heat flared over her buttocks. She jumped and spun around. Sawyer grinned.
“Damn it, Sawyer, that stings.” She put a hand on her hip.
“And my cock aches. I don’t need any more teasing.” He wagged his fingers. “Now, get out of those before I take over. My way will take less than a second.”
“It’s called seduction. You know, a sexy strip tease, a few touches. A way to keep your partner hot while you get out of your clothes.” Her finger prodded his chest, but she shook her head. Stubborn man. She pushed the panties down to her knees and stepped out as they fell to the ground.
“Seduction isn’t necessary when we’re all hot. Now, we’ll to see how much help you need.” Phoenix lifted her and placed her in the middle of the bed.
She drew her fingers over his cheek. “Remember my warning. You three are hugely stubborn, but I will follow through on my promise.”
“Mmm, we remember. Now, let us get on with our mately duty. We can’t leave you wanting.” Noah skimmed his hand over her thigh and spread them. He slipped into the space.
“Well, see how much of your touch I need. I don’t think I’ll need as much as you think.” She dropped her hands to her sides. As if she was naive enough to believe that they wouldn’t press for their way.
Phoenix cupped her cheek. “Give me those lips. I’ve wanted a real kiss ever since I came home.”
“So have I.” She lifted her head.
His lips brushed over hers. The touch was feather soft, at first. She opened for him. His lips moved on hers as his tongue darted against hers. She groaned. Much too light for a serious kiss. He wanted to tease. His lips eased from hers.
A hand skimmed over her stomach. She wriggled and glanced down. Sawyer’s hand eased over her ribs. He smiled. “Did you think I’d be left out of this? I’ve wanted to comfort and kiss you since I lured you out of the bathroom.” He kissed the curve of her br
east.
“I can definitely get in on that kind of touching.” Phoenix cupped her breast. “I love touching you and especially playing with these.”
“Well, you better get started, I love being touched by the three of you.” She tangled her fingers in his hair. Hunger flared within her.
“Then you’ll love tonight. We’re all going to enjoy our time with you.” Noah trailed his fingers down her thighs. “But first, I’m going to feast.”
“Well, enjoy, but careful, you might send me over.” She dropped her head back to the bed and smiled. Not a bad thing to happen at all. Hell, the tension might make them eager enough to forget their questions.
“Not accidentally, Tempest. We know what you like and how your body responds. Even if we did, we could excite you again. It’s always a treat to watch the heat glaze your eyes and hunger tighten these pretty little nipples.” Noah pressed a kiss to her mound.
“Do you care to tell us what had you so stressed out before we take you a little higher? We can get to the exciting part right off without the interrogation if you stop being stubborn,” Phoenix suggested right before he leaned down and lapped at her nipples.
“Nope, my worries, my business. So, get on with it and give me everything.” She widened her thighs in blatant invitation.
“Not when you were as stressed as you were tonight. That makes it our business.” Sawyer plucked at her nipple. “And we will clear away this business before we get to the good stuff.”
“You think I’ll fold. Do your worst and remember payback is a bitch.” She threaded her fingers through his hair and tugged.
Sawyer laughed and grasped her hand. He pressed it to the blanket beneath her. “Treasure, you’ll love everything we do.”
Phoenix pressed her other hand to the bed. She wriggled. They had to have some type of cuffs that would hold a gargoyle. She’d find some and give them a taste of the torture. One at a time if necessary.
Noah lifted one of her legs over his shoulder and swiped his tongue up the folds of her pussy. He swiped between them and flicked her clit. An electric jolt slashed through her. She bucked up, pressing into his mouth.
“Someone likes that a lot.” Sawyer nuzzled her breast before closing his mouth over the peak.
She clenched her fingers into a fist and strained upward. Was he crazy? Noah was licking at her clit as if it was his favorite candy. Of course, she liked that.
Noah tightened his fingers on her hips, holding her still as he stroked his tongue over her clit. A shiver raced up her spine as her hunger grew. She moaned and twisted against the restraining hands holding her arms to her sides.
Meanwhile, Phoenix scraped his teeth over her nipple and lapped at the hardened peak. “No touching for you. Not until you tell us what we want to know.”
“I think interrogations like this break a few laws.” She arched upward.
“Well, good thing this is between us then and you’re not a criminal.” Sawyer’s hand stroked her stomach. “Come on, treasure. Tell us what had you so worried.”
Yeah, she’d tell them about it, but not just yet. If they intended to push her, she’d really feel the burn, not just the light flare of heat. Because as much as they talked about all together, she wasn’t sure they’d do it if she didn’t push. She wanted them all. They’d been too protective, too concerned about hurting because she was still human.
“No, give me what I need.” She shook her head.
“Treasure, that isn’t going to get you satisfaction. The only thing it will buy you is frustration.” Phoenix plucked at her nipple. “You said you wanted pleasure. If you really want that, you should tell us.”
“No, I’ve warned you about teasing me. You want me, don’t you? One of you could sink into my pussy, the other into my ass, and I could lick and suck on the other. We can do all that right now, if you’ll stop pressuring me.” She licked her lips.
“Treasure, you don’t want to play with gargoyles this way. We’ll sink into your sweet pussy, mouth, and ass as soon as we discover what had you so worried tonight. First, since you’re so stubborn, you’ll get a taste of frustration.” Sawyer shook his head.
“Noah, give her the attention she obviously wants,” Phoenix said, then nipped at the taut bud.
A sizzle jolt zipped straight down to her core, adding to the knot of hunger low in her core. A chuckle vibrated against her pussy just before Noah’s tongue lapped at her clit. Fingers brushed at her entrance, slightly swirling around the rim before sliding into her. She tensed. A delicious thrill curled through her.
Noah swirled his tongue around her clit before sucking on it. A spear of need shot through her. She bucked up.
Oh, damn, she wouldn’t last long. Not when they were all touching, kissing, and nibbling. She’d cave. Probably soon.
Phoenix cupped her breast as he drew on the tip, and Sawyer scraped his teeth over the other peak. All the while, Noah lavished attention on that sensitive nub and slowly pumped his fingers into her pussy. She lifted into the torturous strokes.
Noah lifted his head and pulled his fingers free. “Now, tell me or I’ll keep you like this. Wanting, but I won’t take you over.”
“Damn it, Noah!” She twisted and tugged.
Sawyer nipped her nipple. “Now, treasure. You’re delaying my pleasure as well so get on with it.”
She bared her teeth. As if that was encouragement.
A hand slipped down her belly and traced the lips of her pussy. She drew in a slow breath as fire trickled through her.
“Tell us what had you so worried.” Phoenix curled one finger and pressed between the lips.
She arched. He pulled it back. Damn it, the big tease.
“Noah. I was worried about Noah. God, I could have lost him. I don’t know how it never hit me before, but when they attacked him, it just sort of struck me, and I can’t get it out of my mind. I could have lost him, and we haven’t had much time together.” She shook her head.
“Treasure, I know how you feel. It’s the same way I felt when you were shot.” Phoenix rose and cupped her face. “But you have to talk to us. We never go after those hunters alone, so there’s always back up. Now, that we have you we’re not going to take any chances.”
“And we don’t want to lose our chance with you either. We’ve waited years to find you.” Sawyer hooked his arm around her. “Now, I believe we were talking about all making love to you at the same time. Still game for that?”
“If you don’t, I might come after you with a bat.” She glared at him.
“Well, can’t have that.” Noah eased forward and lapped at her pussy again. “Sawyer, on your back so she can climb onto you.”
“Very happy to.” Sawyer sprawled onto his back.
Noah gripped her wrists and tugged her to a sitting position. Tempest smiled. Now, they were in a hurry. She swung her leg over Sawyer’s hips, straddling him. Sawyer reached between them and lined his cock up as she lowered onto him. A muscle along Sawyer’s jaw ticked.
“Stay still, treasure, while Noah prepares you and slides into you.” Sawyer stroked his hand down her back and pulled her down until she rested on his chest.
Noah eased in behind her. Phoenix handed him a tube. She took a deep breath and ran her hands over Sawyer’s muscled arms.
“Relax, treasure. Give Noah a little time to slick himself up and apply the lube to you.” Sawyer stroked his hand up and down her back.
“May be a little cold, Tempest.” Noah patted her butt.
“Okay.” She nodded and lowered her head to Sawyer’s chest.
Cool, thick liquid trickled between the globes of her ass. She tensed. Sawyer pressed a kiss to her lips. He stroked his hand up and down her back.
“I just need to work this inside you. After I’ve done that, I’ll slide my cock right into this tight heaven.” Noah slid two fingers across the tight pucker. As he pressed, a tingle snaked through her as the muscles slowly relaxed letting him in. He eased the fingers into her, working u
ntil the tissue stretched. A prickling sizzle curled through her. She moaned and tightened her legs on Sawyer’s hips.
“Ready now, treasure?” Phoenix touched her cheek as he eased up beside her.
“Yes, I’ve wanted this for so long.” She gripped Sawyer’s shoulders.
Noah slid a hand over her hip and slowly pressed inside. A stinging pang darted through her as he glided into her. Not true pain, but it cut through the hum of desire. She held onto Sawyer.
“He’s sliding in.” Sawyer slipped his hand between them and rubbed her clit.
“You have to move.” She rocked against him.
Sawyer groaned, and Noah drew in a hissing breath. Noah eased back, withdrawing. He drew her back to him. Sawyer arched up, filling her before lowering again. He stroked her clit. A jolt arched through her, and she pressed down on him. They moved her between them.
Phoenix brushed her cheek. “Are you ready for me?”
“Yes.” She nodded.
He brushed his cock over her lips. She opened for him. He slid his cock into her mouth. She licked at it before she drew him deeper. He groaned and slowly rocked his hips forward.
An intense hunger raged in her. She strained against them, rising to meet Noah before grinding down onto Sawyer. Damn, she was barely touching Phoenix. She reached up and wrapped up her arm around his waist, holding on to him.
“Send me over, treasure.” Phoenix stroked the side of their face. “So they can finish you off.”
Phoenix rocked his hips as she sucked on his cock. Each stroke took him deeper as she sucked. A low groan rolled from him. His thrusts quickened. She sucked harder. He sank deep into her mouth twice more and then came. She swallowed and held onto him as tremors shook his big body. He pulled out and sat beside them on the bed.
“This is so good, treasure. You have to come with us.” Sawyer stroked up into her.
As if she’d be able to stop it. Already her body tightened and the pressure built within her. She pushed back against Noah.
They drove into her. Each surge took them deep. As the sensation rose into a wild clawing thing, she dug her nails into Sawyer’s arms. Noah surged against her. He pressed kisses on her shoulder. Sawyer plunged into her. The ache swelled within her. She ground against him and then lifted into Noah. The desperate need broke, and pleasure rushed through her.
